Spotlight On:
The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES)Climate legislation has the potential to advance energy efficiency more than any other single piece of legislation to date. The Alliance to Save Energy strongly supports the creation of a cap-and-trade policy that sets a carbon price, implements complementary energy efficiency policies, and invests in complementary energy efficiency programs. On June 26, 2009 the House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) of 2009. Summaries, analysis and other resources related to this landmark legislation are included on this page. The Alliance will continue to work to obtain Senate passage of strong climate legislation.
